Still Your Mind, Calm Your Thoughts and Focus Your Awareness

cards. Shuffle the cards and draw one for an immediate insight.
Or, for more in-depth readings, spread the shuffled cards
according to one of four crystal lattice designs, each one suitable

new skills or making difficult decisions. Perfect for anyone drawn
to the beauty and healing energy of crystals, this Oracle shows
you how to call upon them for life guidance and self-knowledge.

The largely illiterate medieval audience could read the symbols of
churches and cathedrals and recognize the meanings and stories
deliberately encoded into them. For worshippers these were
places of religious education as well as an awe-inspiring visual
feast that satisfied both the senses and the soul. Today, in an age
less attuned to iconography, such places of worship are often seen
merely as magnificent works of architecture. This book restores
the lost spiritual meaning of these fascinating buildings. The
Secret Language of Churches & Cathedrals provides a three-part
illustrated key by which modern visitors can understand the
layout, fabric and decorative symbolism of Christian sacred
structures – thereby bringing back to life their original
atmosphere of awe and sanctity. For all those who seek to know
more about Christian art and architecture, this richly illustrated
book will instruct and delight in equal measure.
Richard Stemp studied Natural Sciences and History of Art at
the University of Cambridge, and has a PhD in Italian
Renaissance sculpture. He lectures in London for the National
Gallery, Tate and the Wallace Collection, as well as on site in

opening the doors of perception

deep awake

Anthony Peake

Tim Freke

The Key to Cosmic Awareness

The hottest topic in science and philosophy these days is the
relationship between physical reality and the inner workings of
consciousness. Opening the Doors of Perception will be the first
mass-market book to address the science behind this relationship.
It introduces the concept of a scale of perceptions, and uses the
analogy of a series of doors being opened to slowly reveal, layerby-layer, the true nature of “reality”, or full consciousness. It is
stated that most human beings will always view these doors as
securely closed, yet this book provides processes and methods
whereby the reader can begin to open these “doors” and perceive
reality in all its unfiltered glory.
Anthony Peake is the author of two critically acclaimed books,
The Out-of-Body-Experience and The Infinite Minefield, and has
had various articles published in magazines, academic journals
and websites across the world. His books have received
consistently excellent reviews and he is fast developing a
reputation as one of the most exciting and creative of the new
wave of writers within the field of Noetic Science.

Wake Up To Oneness and Celebrate Your Individuality

As the author of more than 20 books on the world’s spiritual
traditions, Tim Freke is in a unique position to present a
revolutionary new approach to spiritual awakening. With
astonishing clarity and directness he explains why popular
spiritual teachings that urge us to reject the mind, attack the ego
and detach from the vicissitudes of life are misguided. He offers a
revolutionary new approach to awakening, which shows that the
ego is the hero, not the villain, of the spiritual journey. When we
are deep awake, we wake up to oneness and celebrate
separateness. We embrace both our spirituality and our humanity.
Authentic spirituality is not about detaching ourselves from life,
but about wholeheartedly diving in so that we can express our
deep love and our unique human passion in the world.
Tim Freke is an internationally respected authority on world
spirituality and the bestselling author of more than 20 books,
which have been translated into 15 languages. He is pioneering
a new approach to awakening that has touched the lives of
hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. He presents lifechanging events internationally and online. He has often been
featured in the global media, including the BBC.

The Counterculture Revolution – From Secret Societies to Wikileaks and Anonymous

Marginalized groups have always rebelled against establishments;
some subversively by spreading progressive ideas through art and
literature, while others are far more proactive, driving revolution
and exposing government secrets. The Illuminati, founded in
1776, aimed to rid Europe of the ruling aristocracy and religious
control. Now the term Illuminati has become a meme; and it was
in this climate of pranks, memes and conspiracy theories that the
hacktivist collective Anonymous were born. The kindling of the
French Revolution by the Illuminati has found a modern
counterpart in the key role played by Anonymous and WikiLeaks
in the Arab Spring uprisings, using the Internet as a new weapon
against dictatorships. The new Inquisition has shifted its focus
from secret societies to wage a war on the connected
communities of the Internet age. This is the story of that war and
how you need to be a part of it.
Robert Howells has spent the last 20 years investigating the
mysteries of Rennes-le-Chateau, the Priory of Sion and the
history of conspiracy theories. He is author of Inside the Priory of
Sion and The Last Pope.

The Hidden Order of The Universe and The Seven Disciplines of World Culture

In the final work of Nicholas Hagger’s American trilogy, he
explains how it is America’s destiny to create a unified World
State and blames the world’s current divided culture for
impeding this creation. In our world culture, there are several
conflicting, entrenched approaches and Hagger sees America as
the singular force that can bring in a democratic, UN-based
World State that will have the power to unify these different
approaches and in doing so, unify humankind. Universalism is
the philosophy that can create this unification. The key to
introducing Universalism globally is by focusing on the scientific
order of the universe, the experience of the common essence
(religion) and on a traditional view of order. By focusing on order
in this way, America can harmonize humankind within a World
State based on political Universalism.
Nicholas Hagger has written more than 40 books. The two
previous books in his American trilogy, The Secret Founding of
America and The Secret American Dream, have been widely
discussed and acclaimed. He is a Renaissance-style polymath able
to draw on several disciplines – history, literature, philosophy
and the sciences, mysticism, comparative religion, international
politics and statecraft, and world culture – in setting out the
establishment of a World State based on political Universalism
that it is America’s destiny to create.

How to Breathe Your Way to a Mindful Life

Mindful breathing is direct, natural and easy to learn; it is simply
using your breath as a focus or a tool for mindfulness. If you can
breathe you can be mindful and once you master this you can
access it at any point, wherever you are, day or night. Rose Elliot,
renowned vegetarian chef and proponent of mindfulness, gently
leads the reader on a journey that starts with the teachings of the
Buddha on a moonlit evening. In its retelling she reveals the
techniques and teachings of the Buddha about mindful breathing,
which are as valid today as they were 2500 years ago. Every
Breath You Take brings a fresh approach to mindfulness that will
inspire anyone who hasn’t tried it and will bring new life to the
practice of those who have. Both practical and inspirational, this
book will give you the tools and exercises you need to be able to
understand and use mindful breathing every day of your life.
Rose Elliot was brought up in a spiritual environment. Her
grandmother, Grace Cooke, was the medium for White Eagle
and founded the White Eagle Lodge based on his teachings,
which incorporated a strong Buddhist element. Some years ago,
Rose heard a Buddhist monk speak about the Four Noble Truths
and that you could write everything you need to know about
Buddhism on the back of a postcard … this inspired her
meditation practice, her writing, and her love for and interest
in Buddhism.

Aristotle said “you are what you repeatedly do”. Most of us have
no idea that what we repeatedly do creates our lives – we think
our future is shaped by big events, the decisions we make and
the thoughts we have, but this book will show you that it is
your daily actions that are the key. Over the last few decades
neuroscientists and psychologists have discovered that there
is more power in “I do” than “I think”. However, if an action
is repeated enough times it becomes habit – and habits lack
thought, consideration and presence. To effect long-lasting
meaningful change our actions need to be filled with a sense
of personal meaning and power – they need to be ritualized.
Creating personal ritual in our lives allows us to bring the
presence of the sacred into the everyday. The rituals in this
book have been designed as symbolic acts providing a framework
for anyone to use to create positive change in their lives. The
seven morning rituals are designed to help you “wake with
determination”; the seven afternoon rituals focus on “living
on purpose”; and the seven evening rituals are about “retiring
with satisfaction”.

Realigning Body, Heart and Mind With Your Soul’s Purpose

Everything you need to heal and claim the life destined to
become yours is already within you. This is the simple but
powerful message at the very heart of Life Alignment – an
extraordinary system of vibrational healing that has been handed
down from higher powers and other dimensions – to help you do
just that. You know why you are here and how to get the life you
want, you’ve simply forgotten that the power to change and
make that happen lies with you. A Life Alignment healing
session with a Life Alignment practitioner will help your body
and mind remember and put you back on the road to the destiny
that awaits you. In this book, Life Alignment practitioner
Philippa Lubbock tells the incredible story of this healing system
and its guru Jeff Levin. Here you will find the very latest of those
teachings and a pathway to meet your deeper spiritual self, who
already has the answers and is waiting for you to hear the inner
guidance that will show you the path you need to take.
Philippa Lubbock is a Life Alignment practitioner who entered
the field of energy medicine via a winding path through classical
music, theatre, early education, bodywork and psychology. Her
years as a Gestalt psychotherapist provided first-hand evidence of
the mind as the source of “dis-ease”. This fuelled her passion to

Most of the conventional “productivity” advice you’ll find in the
“soft business” section simply does not work for creative people.
Surprisingly, to date there has not been a single book that
addresses the unique organizational challenges that artists face.
This book sets out to change that. It addresses the myth that
truly creative people are messy and that they need mess in order
to create. Sheila Chandra applies her professional insights as a
“creative” and organizing expert to the lives of other busy creative
people in all disciplines – showing them how good organization
can liberate their creative “magic”. Her foolproof, tried and
tested system is mixed with creativity tips and artist wellbeing
advice that only one artist knows to give to another. With real
affection, Sheila Chandra takes her readers by the hand and puts
them on the path to creative success.
Sheila Chandra has made some of the most beautiful and
innovative recordings in the World Music category, beginning in
1982 with her band Monsoon’s ground-breaking Asian fusion
single “Ever So Lonely”, which was a Top 10 hit around the
world. In 2010 she published the bestselling Banish Clutter
Forever, outlining her own system for home organizing which she
says makes it possible to “pretty much, never tidy up again”.

Bakers’ Secrets for Making Amazing Long-rise Loaves at Home

Recipes and Nutrition Plans to Help You Achieve Your Goals

Making bread is an ancient craft; kneading the dough to lovingly
produce a loaf is a fulfilling experience. But in the modern
kitchen, one important ingredient is often left out of bread
making: time. Experienced bakers will tell you that long and slow
is far more satisfying than a quick finish. A long-proved loaf has
more time to develop flavour, has a better texture and, in the case
of genuine sourdough, might actually have health benefits. In
Slow Dough: Real Bread, you will learn secrets from the experts
to make a huge array of slow-rise breads at home. Whether you
want to make a Fig and Fennel Sourdough, a Fougasse flatbread
or a Christmas Bread, in these recipes you’ll learn how to make
different starters for different breads, as well as the fundamental
processes: fermenting, kneading, first proof, last rising and
baking. In a world of mass-production and redundant additives
(bread being among the worst offenders), this book, about real
craftsmanship, is a breath of fresh air for your baking.

Renee McGregor, one of the UK’s top sports nutritionists,
explains the dietary plans needed to hit your goals while you
train. The science of what to eat, and why, is clearly and
practically laid out. Meal plans are tailored to your goals and
cover what to eat on rest, easy, moderate and high-intensity
training days. This includes how to get to grips with eating
before, during and after exercise in the most efficient way for
your body to fuel and restore itself. Importantly, all of these
meals and snacks are made for real people with real lives.

Chris Young is Campaign Co-ordinator for The Real Bread
Campaign, a charity project with a mission to promote additivefree bread. In addition to compiling this book, Chris edits the
quarterly magazine True Loaf, and wrote Knead to Know, the
campaign’s first book. His work has appeared in publications such
as Spear’s Magazine, The Real Food Cookbook and the London
ethical food magazine, The Jellied Eel, which he also edits.

Renee McGregor is one of the UK’s top sports nutritionists,
advising athletes from amateur to Olympic levels, including
supporting Team GB at the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic
Games in Rio. With years of experience and expertise in sports
nutrition, she offers vital and unequalled insight into what you
need to fuel your success in your given sport.

lunch is doing you good. By strategic shopping, making things

Shop-bought fish pâté often comes with added sugar and cream, and it is blended,
which loses much of its texture. Making your own is far better value and so quick to
make that you won’t go back. This is lovely piled on hot, toasted sourdough, but if
your workplace doesn’t have a toaster, it goes very well with oatcakes.

Smoked mackerel is a little
cheaper than trout and also works well with lime. Mash it
with Greek rather than coconut yogurt, as it tastes better.

Oily fish such as trout are great sources of omega-3 fats (see page 11). We are advised to eat three
servings of oily fish per week to get enough of these exceptional fats, and pâté is a no-cook way to
achieve this.

the really quite good british cookbook
The Food We Love from 100 of our Best Chefs, Cooks, Bakers and Local Heroes

What do you cook for the people you love? Asked this question,
100 of Britain’s food heroes have shared their most beloved
recipes to make this extraordinary cookbook. While Nigella
Lawson divulges how to bake her Chocolate Guinness Cake,
Rick Stein fries up Shrimp and Dill Fritters with Ouzo. Yotam
Ottolenghi would serve Pea & Mint Croquettes and Jamie Oliver
showcases his Fantastic Fish Pie. These are just a few of the
incredible recipes provided by the best and brightest on the
British food scene, including chefs such as Raymond Blanc,
Gordon Ramsay, Mary Berry, Delia Smith, James Martin, Nigel
Slater, Thomasina Miers, Mark Hix, Jason Atherton, Marco
Pierre White and Claudia Roden and more. Compiled by awardwinning food editor and author William Sitwell, The Really
Quite Good British Cookbook is keenly anticipated and a stunning
object in its own right. Ultimately it is a celebration of the
breadth, creativity and richness of Britain’s unique food culture.
William Sitwell is an award-winning editor, broadcaster and
writer. He is a frequent guest and presenter on TV and radio –
he’s best known as a critic on the BBC show MasterChef – and
also contributes regularly on the subject of food to national
newspapers, as well as a variety of magazines.
Sir Peter Blake graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1956.

Heat the chicken stock to boiling and check for seasoning. Bring a medium
saucepan of water to the boil, and add ½ tablespoon salt, the peas, half the
mint and the whole garlic clove. Simmer for 3–4 minutes or until the peas are
al dente. Drain, keeping back 150 ml of the water. Return the peas, mint and
garlic clove to this water and put aside.
Melt 150 grams of the butter in a large, thick-bottomed saucepan, add the
spring onion and soften. Add the chopped garlic, then the rice, stirring for about
2–3 minutes to coat each grain. Add a ladle of hot stock and stir, adding
another when the rice has absorbed the first. Continue stirring and adding
stock for 10 minutes or until the rice is not quite al dente.
Add half the peas, keeping back the cooked garlic and mint and their liquor.
Mash together the remainder of the peas, mint and garlic with the liquor in
a food processor, then add to the risotto and stir. Stir in the basil. Add the
vermouth, about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta, and the remaining butter. Cook
briefly to wilt the basil and melt the butter. Test for doneness: the rice should
be al dente.
Serve with the remaining ricotta over each portion, sprinkled with lemon zest,
salt, pepper and Parmesan.

We’ve all heard of nose to tail eating, but if you thought it was
just about what comes from your local butcher, think again.
So much good food is thrown away when actually, with a bit of
creative thinking, you can eat up everything – and enjoy a much
more exciting meal for it.
Nothing escapes Victoria Glass’s attention: stale bread is
transformed into Treacle Tart with Brown Bread Ice Cream,
strawberry tops are brewed to a delicious tea; leftover chicken
fat can make the crispiest roast potatoes; and vegetable peelings
turn into delicious crisps.
This book isn’t just about saving money – though it’s a welcome
side-effect of these brilliant recipes. It’s about rethinking what we
throw away, and why. By taking this waste-free approach, these
100 recipes are some of the most inventive and innovative that
you will ever try, and can show you a whole new way to think
about your meals. Supported by tips and tricks to help you get
the most out of every item in your shopping trolley, this is a
playful new guide to revolutionise your kitchen.

Paige orwin
Jay Posey’s explosive new military SF novel features a secretive,
highly-trained unit of soldiers called the Outriders.

A modern fantasy novel about a wizard who steals time, a WWI
ghost, and the giant monsters that threaten all of civilization.

During a daring hostage rescue, the team learns about an
imminent terrorist attack – but their government lets the attack
go ahead nonetheless. And when they learn the reasons why, the
Outriders find themselves tasked with stopping an interplanetary war.

It’s 2020, and a magical cataclysm has shattered reality as we
know it. A wizard’s cabal is running the US East Coast, keeping a
semblance of peace. Agents, Edmund and Istavan – the former a
near-immortal 1940s-era mystery man, the latter, well, a ghost
– are hunting an arms smuggling ring when they discover a
shadow war that’s been raging since the cataclysm. To get out of
this alive, they’ll need to get over their feelings, their memories,
and the threat of a most monstrous enemy …

When Saffron Coulter stumbles through a hole in reality, she
finds herself trapped in Kena, a magical realm on the brink of
civil war.
There, her fate becomes intertwined with that of three very
different women: Zech, the fast-thinking acolyte of a cunning,
powerful exile; Viya, the spoiled, runaway consort of the empirebuilding ruler, Vex Leoden; and Gwen, an Earth-born
worldwalker whose greatest regret is putting Leoden on the
throne. But Leoden has allies, too, chief among them a
dangerous ex-priestess who shares his dreams of conquest.
Saffron is out of her world and out of her depth, but the further
she travels, the more she finds herself bound to her friends with
ties of blood and magic. Can one girl – an accidental
worldwalker – really be the key to saving Kena? Or will she just
die trying?

binary storm

eric scott fischl
Near the end of the 21st century, Earth is in chaos from
environmental devastation and a vicious undeclared war against
binaries, genetically engineered assassins. Composed of a single
consciousness inhabiting two human bodies (tways), binaries are
ruled by an alpha breed, the Royal Castle. Nick Smith, computer
programmer and brilliant strategist, hooks up with Annabel
Bakana, the savvy new director of E-Tech, an organization
dedicated to limiting runaway technology growth. Together both
romantically and professionally, they secretly assemble a small
combat team to hunt and kill binaries. But there’s a fly in the
ointment, the mysterious team leader, Gillian. A tormented soul
with an unseemly attraction to Annabel, his actions just might
help the Royal Castle’s cause and draw the world closer to
Armageddon. Serving as both a stand-alone novel and prequel to
Liege-Killer, Binary Storm is a futuristic tale of bold characters
pushed to the brink in a dangerous world. Startling action,
political intrigue and powerful themes that echo our
contemporary era are fused into a plot brimming with twists and
surprises.

Discover what happens when a snake-oil shyster comes across
real magic in this twisted alchemical misadventure.
The year is 1878. Dr Alexander Potter, disgraced Civil War
surgeon, now snake-oil salesman, travels the Pacific Northwest
with a disheartened company of strongmen, fortune-tellers, and
musical whores. Under their mysterious and murderous leader
they entertain the masses while hawking the Chock-a-saw Sagwa
Tonic, a vital elixir touted to cure all ills both physical and
spiritual. For a few unfortunate customers, however, the Sagwa
offers something much, much worse.
Eric Scott Fischl writes novels of speculative historical fiction
and the supernatural. He balances writing with a day-job
managing technology for a conservation-focused non-profit
organisation, and lives in Montana’s Bitterroot Mountains.

How Capitalism organizes Empathy

The Psychopath Factory examines how the requirements, stimuli,
and environments of work condition our empathy. Could
psychopathy subvert the control regimes of late capitalism? Does
it hold the potential to emancipate us from the current impasse?

What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? In this new essay,
Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting and
anomalous fiction of the 20th Century belongs to these two
modes.

RICHARD GIlMAN-oPAlSKy
In Spectres of Revolt, Gilman-Opalsky argues that the world is
haunted by revolt, by the possibility of events that interrupt and
disrupt the world, that throw its reality and justice into question.
Making use of diverse sources, this book explores upheaval as
thinking, the intellect of insurrection and philosophy from below.
Richard Gilaman-Opalsky, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of
Political Philosophy in the Department of Political Science at the
University of Illinois at Springfield.

Games without froNtiers
JoE KENNEDy
Football, we’re told frequently, is in a state of crisis. A microcosm
of late capitalism’s free-for-all, it has become almost dystopian in
its commodification, and its working-class constituency have
become thoroughly alienated from the sport they grew up
believing was a birthright. Written half as a travelogue, this book
seeks to protect football from some of its would-be saviours
without ever losing sight of what it means to have a fan’s
investment in the game.
Joe Kennedy teaches English and Cultural Studies at the
University of Gothenburg’s programme at the University
of Sussex.
